do you have to tighten the allen screws on the quick change retainer to hold the bits in place? Thanks

No. You just have to make sure the screws are tight on the retainer bushing. The bits are fast on and off. I abuse mine and it works great slabbing aluminum sheet off of rolls.

No, Allen screws you tighten if you don't plan on removing quick change from air hammer.

Not that I know of. It has a standard chuck that you need only a single wrench to tighten the bit.

Yes, it has the 1/4" quick change bit holder. If you want the 3/8" chuck, you will need to look at the other model #.

Simple answer = Yes . Extra answer , should the retainer spring that holds bits in place break, just call Leatherman and they will ship a free replacement spring no questions asked.

the shaft you need to connect it to will go in any drill type chuck that can hold a bit , but you have to buy the quick release shaft to use it

No but the Phillips screws seam to stay on the tips fairly good. You could put a small refrigerator magnet close to the end of the screwdriver and it will hold the screw.

Yes, insert drill bit, tighten it by turning, then use power just slightly.

Yes and yes. It's not a quick release though. But a quick Allen wrench does the trick

No they stay in just fine. The holder is designed to pinch the bottom of the shank and hold the drill bit in place.

Yes - that is one of the things that makes this drill so great. I purchased one of those things that lets you click (or whatever) to change bits and sizes of screw heads without adjusting the chuck. Good luck Jeffrey -- Rob England

Yes, each segment screws to the next and tightens using two pliers. The first segment is solid and goes into your drill.

This does not take drill bits, you would need to buy a Ready Bit Tip Holder that tighten down on the drill bit which are available on Amazon. Hope this helps you out.

Scott - I too have not had to adjust the retention screw. I did mess with it a little and I did not notice a difference in effort required to draw, so I stopped messing with it. My experience is similar to Don's - out of the box it firmly holds my SR40C in place and a twist is required to draw.

It attaches to the phillips head driver in my Rebar. The bits go in the other end. I only used this a few times and have not had bits fall off or have the driver falling off the tool. I even used it with the bit extension driver with no problems.

Well, like most things in life - it's simple, just not easy. While you can pull the bits out the front of the holders for quick removal, you can only replace them by sliding them into the top of the holder. Make sure the profile of the bit matches the profile of the holder (align points to points, faces to faces). Insert aligned bit into top of holder at approx a 5-10 degree angle to the end of the first "claw". Rotate bit so it is parallel to holder and finish inserting until fully seated. Unfortunately, it's not a one handed, or speedy, operation. You may have to do what others and myself have done; just leave them banging around loose in the case until the job is done, then replace the bits correctly as part of your job clean-up.

That would not concern me. Mine does too. A lot of slotted tools that take bits do that, but if you're holding it upside down and the bit is falling out without touching it, your bit-extender is probably the problem and it's not retaining the bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't be critical if there is some movement.

Yes! They give you an Allen wrench though. I put a bit on one of my screw drivers and it was a lot easier to do. Once I figured that out it took almost no time to get the rest together.
